BSOD - how to view file report?

[Guest]

I got the BSOD twice today. This is a brand-new computer. Here are the specs:
Vista home premium 6000.vista_rtm.061101-2205
Intel Core 2 Due CPU E6750 @ 2.66 ghz (2 cpus) ~2.7ghz
2558mb RAM - Crucial two 2gb sticks with heat spreader for a total of 4 gigs
(I found out after the fact that Vista 32 bit will not support over 2 gigs
ram when you include video ram)
DirectX 10
Nvidia GeForce 7950GT - two graphics cards with 1255MB display memory...this
is an SLI system
Two internal hard drives, 160gb each, stripe
Maxtor external hd 160gb
Gigabyte gn-wp01gs wlan card turbo
Sony DVD RW
HL DVD ROM
Case is an NZXT Zero with 10 fans, plus a liquid cooling system
700w Xion PSU

Here is my latest error report. I am unable to find the file in the
Users/Admin/Appl data file. I have Files set up to show hidden. It's just
not there. I really want to send these files to the manufacturer. I'm
getting the BSOD every other day. Can't really determine the cause.

Hi,

What if you simply type the path into an explorer address bar? The important
file is the minidump, as that will contain the details of what fell over.

Also, Vista 32-bit supports up to 4GB of memory, not 2GB, but the amount you
see will be limited by the number of addresses reserved by the system.

Tried typing the path and doing a search, and it didn't find those .txt or
excel files. It finds the minidump, but asks what program to open it with?

Also, regarding Vista RAM limit - this is what the manufacturer sent me when
I asked about it:

Hi,

You need a debug program to open the .dmp files. If you'd like, you can send
it to me at the email address used here with a subject line of 'per req' to
get past the filters.

The article essentially is correct, but if you read carefully, it backs up
what I already stated, that the size limit is 4GB, not 2GB. The amount you
get to see is limited by the other factors dependent on the system.
